Nations

Dick Shovel has
begun compiling good
general historical &
cultural
overviews of a couple
of dozen tribes. Take
a look at First Nations
Histories - a good source for student papers! Dick also has a listing of tribes,
both federally and state recognized, as well as those with no formal
governmental recognition at all.Added 8/3/99; updated

ALGONQUIAN

If you are looking for information on the "Algonquian Indians", you can
stop right now. "Algonquian" is not the name of a Native tribe or nation;
it is a language family, like "romance" or "indo-european". There are no
"Algonquian Indians"; but there are Algonquin Indians in Canada. There are dozens of
North American Nations that speak Algonquian languages all across the United States and Canada,
but the languages and their speakers are as
different from each other as French and Spanish and Italian are.

Most
of
the New England tribes spoke Algonquian languages, and many of the
"Indian" words common in English today - such as raccoon, succotash,
Massachusetts, moccasin, etc. - are from one or another of the
Algonquian
languages, such as Abenaki, Wampanoag, Nipmuc, Penboscot, Shawnee,
Delaware, etc.
But if you are a student who has
been assigned to write a
report on the "Algonquian Indians", go back to school and tell your
teacher that
she has to decide WHICH Algonquian-speakers she has in mind. If she really does mean
the Algonquin Indians in Canada, check out this
